The Itsy Bitsy Spider....

If you viewed my last post, you know we all got together Easter Sunday at Sisters house for a cookout. All that afternoon Allen wanted to go fishing, and Chad my oldest decided to go with him...

Allen got a bite on his leg, while fishing...

He came home Tuesday night with a fever and the bite seemed to look red, so Melissa took him to the doctor Wednesday morning where it was determined that he had been bitten by a spider...

A Brown Recluse Spider..

He was given a shot (which he didn't hesitate to say hurt...alot) of antibodics, and then given more medicne to take.

By Wednesday afternoon the redness had spread from the bottom of his knee (the bite is on his shin) to the top of his foot...

When he came home from school today his leg was swollen and the swelling and redness has went to his ankel...it looks very nasty!

He has a n appointment tomarrow morning to go back and let the Doctor have a look see...so I'll give you an update on what they say tomarrow night, please remember him in your prayers. Blessings!

Appendectomy and Taxes...

For some reason I thought that having your appendix removed fell somewhere under a childhood age. I'm not sure why...maybe I thought after a certain age your appendix swiveled up and went away (I'm not even sure what purpose they have)

My Dad and Mom went with some friends Thursday to Nashville Tenn. to see a Musical and half way through the show my Dad started feeling bad, by the time they got home that night he was in a great deal of pain. He went to the Doctor the next day (which means he really feels bad) and the next thing my Sister and I know Mom is calling saying he has to have surgery to remove his appendix....He had the surgery this morning and all went well, they did a Laparoscopic Appendectomy which they say is a lot easier on the patient...My Husband and I stopped by the Hospital tonight on our way to get our taxes done (which some would say they would rather have an appendectomy than get their taxes done) Daddy was doing well, he was getting up to walk when Tony and I was getting ready to leave poor thing, he was moving VERY,VERY SLOW at a good little shuffle pace down the hallway, his nurse said the more he walked the better he would feel. He cracked me up in his draftylovely hospital gown, dragging his IV poll down the hallway, with Mom holding his hand (that folks was a kodak moment) Hopefully if all goes well he will be home tomorrow.
And yes we got our taxes filed today, I am such a procrastinator. I hate the paper work, I am not an organized person....but they are done. Blessings!

MOODY ME....

Does anyone out there ever have "moody me" days?

If your answer was no, then go away....(just kidd'n)

I have been very, very ,very just a touch on the moody side today....

I had told Miss I can't quit smiling, look what a good mood I'm in, sister, I just wasn't feeling good today and I think I might skip church tonight....

BUT....I didn't I went...I got something out of the lesson...I needed it to get the Moody out of Me...

When we (Chad and Chase) got into the truck to leave church tonight Chad started talking about what they had learned about, I was puzzled...was this MY teenager or did someone else's kid just get in the truck with me?

My point being, he herd the message....If I had stayed home tonight being moody he would have missed it...
I understand to some this is not a big deal...but for me, the lesson we had at church tonight didn't stop when I walked out the doors ,it spoke loud and clear to me when I got into the vehicle with my boys...

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you
and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned
Nor shall the flames scorch you." Isaiah 43:2
